Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

On the other side, Lucas was left staring at his phone when the call abruptly ended. His face twisted in anger, and he hurled his phone across the

room.

Linda happened to see it all. She walked over and looped her arm through his. "Lucas, what's going on?"

Lucas glanced at her, his eyes cold and distant. Linda flinched. He had never looked at her like that before.

Ever since Chloe had played that recording at the hospital, Lucas had changed. Did he really suspect her now? No, she had schemed for years to get to this point. She couldn't let it all fall apart now.

Tears welled up in Linda's eyes, painting her as the picture of innocence. "Did I do something to upset you?"

Lucas looked at her pitiful expression and felt a mix of emotions. For the first time, he realized Linda could act, too. He had found things on her computer but hadn't confronted her about it. Partly because he felt responsible, believing she lacked security, and partly because the doctor had warned him that her pregnancy was fragile. She couldn't handle stress.

"Luca, whatever I did, it was out of love for you. Please, don't be mad at me. I promise I won't do anything to make you upset again."

Lucas' expression softened a bit. Linda seemed so vulnerable, and her entire world revolved around him. Unlike Chloe, who, despite her dazzling facade, was as wild as a mustang and never listened to him.

He put his arm around Linda. "Just stay away from Chloe. She's ruthless, and you're no match for her."

Linda still looked wronged. "What about my mom? She's been causing scenes at the TV station. I'm really scared..."

"She just wants money, right? Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Linda hugged Lucas tightly. "Thank you, Lucas. You're the only one who truly cares for me."

The next day, Linda also went to the

TV station. After her mother's repeated outbursts there, people's perceptions had shifted. It was to everyone that the scandal surrounding Chloe and Shannon's appearance was about the

prime-time host position. But in the end, Chloe had won.

Tony announced Chloe as the prime-time høst during the morning meeting. Of course, Linda had signed a five-year contract with

Moncada International, and be

the girlfriend of Moncada

v

International's heir, she left

out in the cold. She was

the

second-best slot, the 9 PM "News

Express" show.

That evening, around 7:30 PM, Chloe had just left the studio when she noticed a buzz outside. The assistant, Cindy, waved her over excitedly. "Chloe, come quick. I've got late-night snacks and milkshake."

Chloe walked over to find a long table piled high with a variety of late-night snacks. There was sushi, barbecue roast, and even lobster a dazzling array of choices. Another table was stacked with milkshake and various desserts. People were already gathered around diving in.

Cindy pulled Chloe over. "This is all from a five-star hotel, specially delivered by the manager of Caesar's Hotel. The quality is just unbeatable compared to street food. Chloe, you have to try this mousse cake. It's delicious."Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Seeing the lavish spread, Chloe knew it must have cost a small fortune. "So, who's treating us?" she asked.

"It's Linda's boyfriend, Mr. Lucas from Leading Heights," Cindy replied, munching on a piece of cake and pointing towards the entrance. "He is so good to Linda. He came to pick her up from work so early."
